Porsche wheels on Bmw?

SteanLV · 11-03-2008, 05:10 AM

Hey guys what would I need to fit Porsche wheels to fit our e90s???

I know I would need wheel adaptors from 5x130 to 5x120 but would the hub sizes be different?

just re drill them. and use hub rings. porsche hubs are bigger.

offsets are also something to consider. most porsche wheels are 45 front, 50-60 rear depending on width. That offset will sit inside the wheel well & maybe even cause some rubbing on the strut. Do some research, you could get spacer conversions/hubcentric adapters that are centerbored correctly to the wheel & to your car that might do the trick.

Actually, H&R makes a conversion kit specifically for this. Check their website.

True; but confidence is lost if I, as a consumer, am consistently seeing this. It would make me think twice about giving my business to vendors/reps...

Then never trust anyone again. Crawl into your basement and hide...

What is wrong with a vendor trying to become more informed? I find it better that they are seeking the information instead of selling a product that is not properly matched up to customers needs.

then dont buy from him. Dont you think all vendors had to do some research to learn about this stuff? They are not just born with it in their heads.
